Both boys have been regulars for the last two seasons, having earned two letters. ir THE SENIORS I Fenger's senior Basketball team this year was a little on the dreary side. With only one letter man returning, Dimrny had to start from scratch. Englewood C34-275 was the only league victory for our seniors. Mess- maker, Godshall, Logan, Zick, Reglesky, and De Hamer earned letters this year. With all of the seniors returning except Reg- lesky and Zick and with the tour first string luniors moving up, our seniors should have a well balanced team next year.
